About this ebook
This report details the design, fabrication, and operation of three new instruments that were developed at AFGL to define some of the physical characteristics of naturally falling snow. Two are devices for the measurement of fall velocity and high-resolution snow rate. The other was conceived for the documentation of the ice-crystal composition of the prevailing snow. Problems that surfaced during the first year of operation are discussed along with the plans to correct the deficiencies. Examples of the data supplied by these instruments are shown. (Author).
